For the price this machine is great. I have two issues with this piece of equipment. First off during assembly I found the piece that you attach to hold the weights is too large for the frame. I ended up just tightening the bolt until I bent the metal down until it worked more like a clamp that a correct fit 😄. Secondly the cushions for your knees is WAY too thin. You can feel the metal bar straight through and it's brutal on your knees/legs when you put any real weight on it. I modified it with some old boxing pads that were at the end of their life. With some extra padding this machine would be really awesome. Overall it's a solid piece of equipment. With a little modification you can't beat the price.
